		My discussion post for the day:

			I completely agree.
			Ending segregation is a step in the right direction, but it&apos;s not the and of a people&apos;s struggles.
			Poverty and disease are also problems that can and must be dealt with.
			People should look after one another and work together for the happiness of everyone.
			It&apos;s so sad that people so often want to fight against one another instead of building a better future.

	<p>
		I wasn&apos;t feeling well at all today, so instead of jumping right on coursework, I did a little work in my Minetest world.
		Mainly, I built a small, floating platform of dirt and leaves in the ocean near my island to serve as a temporary base.
		I can&apos;t do much without a place to put a chest and a furnace, and the dirt part gives me a place to grow crops as well.
		My current crop is grass, as it&apos;s the only thing besides pine trees and dandelions (both white and yellow varieties) that naturally grows anywhere near my isle.
		I&apos;ll need to go on an expedition to gather plant and fungi samples from further out later.
		I&apos;ll need some roses and jungle grass if I&apos;m to build a bed though, and I&apos;m not ending the expedition without saplings of all seven varieties.
		Mushrooms would be nice too, but I won&apos;t be able to use them until the tunnel is further along.
		Mushrooms demand darkness to grow in.
		Papyrus and cacti would be nice bonuses, though I can&apos;t for the life of me figure out what I&apos;d <strong>*do*</strong> with a cactus.
	</p>
	<p>
		After completing my coursework, I went out biking for some air, but I still didn&apos;t feel well, so I came home and worked in Minetest some more.
		I actually got a lot of mining done.
		First, I dug down to y=-288.
		The first leg of my tunnel is a straight-down shot to there, where it&apos;ll branch out in all four compass direction and head out horizontally.
		My plan was to dig out the stone, one column at a time.
		That plan didn&apos;t work out though, due to the caves.
		I kept falling into the ones in the way of the tunnel, then dying.
		Along the way though, I mined enough copper and tin to build a bronze pick, then enough diamonds for a diamond shovel and diamond pick.
		I revised my strategy, and tried to dig my columns down only to the first major cave in my way, but that didn&apos;t work out too well either.
		I revised again, and am now digging only to the place my tunnel first comes in contact with the ocean.
		(An ocean cave passes right where I need to dig.)
		I&apos;ve clear cut all the trees on that section of the mountain, and taken all the dirt and snow away.
		Now I need to finish removing the now-detached stone floating there, then start aiming deeper again.
	</p>
	<p>
		I&apos;ve thought about it, and it&apos;s not right calling what I&apos;m building there a castle.
		It&apos;s more of a lone tower; there&apos;s no room for a full castle.
		I&apos;ll probably call it the dwarf tower.
		I&apos;ll build my personal castle underground, I think, and call it the dwarf castle.
		That&apos;s a long way off though.
		I don&apos;t know where to put it and I don&apos;t have any interesting building materials yet.
		Once I have a more-permanent base of operations and can set up a makeshift treasury (even this base will be temporary though until I build my castle), I&apos;ll probably dedicate a treasure chest to useless items.
		For example, bronze has to be crafted in sets of nine ingots.
		There&apos;s just no other way to make it.
		Once you have the bronze, you can either craft it into blocks, which requires all nine ingots, or you can craft it into tools.
		I don&apos;t need more bronze tools though.
		I needed just the one to get some diamonds.
		Even if I was playing with tool wear enabled so my picks would break, I&apos;d just use the faster diamond tools, the diamond pick in particular to get more diamonds for building the replacements.
		So I have six ingots of bronze left over with no possible function.
		Even if I craft more bronze, I&apos;ll always end up with more in sets of nine, then use it to craft blocks in sets of nine.
		I&apos;ll put those in my useless chest, along with my old stone tools and whatever else I get that just has no purpose.
	</p>
	<p>
		The trees seem eerily similar in placement in this iteration of the map compared to last time.
		Even the strange double tree I encountered exists.
		It makes me thing the map generator is creating the map more identically than I thought.
		I think I&apos;ve figured out what&apos;s up with the sometimes-connected sky isle.
		I&apos;m looking at my own island from different angles.
		I&apos;ve got that connected chunk, but there&apos;s a floating, detached isle on another side.
		Maybe I just hadn&apos;t noticed the connected chunk before.
